Master’s student at NMSU studying soil microbial communities. All photos are mine unless it's a retweet.

Hey Twitter friends, I just graduated! I received my Bachelor’s in Biology from @wheaton. I feel so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to explore my passion for science and I am excited to continue to do so as I pursue my Master’s. #graduation2022 #wheatonma #firstgen

Spotted some mushrooms ☺️ #mushrooms #fungi

@ScootJD @pp_systems I’ve gotta go back through some of the papers that I’ve read on leaf litter decomposition to direct you towards the methodologies as I can’t remember the exact papers right now. I am aiming to publish on this study in the next year or so and that will detail the methodologies!

Behind the scenes! Measuring microbial respiration associated with leaf litter decomposition in the Chihuahuan Desert. #ESA2023 #microbes #fungi #bacteria #decomposition #drylands @pp_systems https://t.co/LjtI8ssFsH

@phenophase @fungi_lover @ESA_SW I’m always excited to talk about this research! Desert microbes are super cool, let me know if you have any questions!

[Emily Embury @ee_ecology]

Twitter (or X, whatever you wanna call it) is being weird. Here’s the video again if it’s being weird!

@pp_systems @fungi_lover @WomenInSoilEco @esa_students @ESAEcology Thank you to everyone who came to my poster today! If you ever wanna chat more about desert microbes, send me a message! #ESA2023

[PP Systems International @ppsystems.bsky.social @pp_systems]

There’s still time to chat with Emily about her yearlong analysis. Stop by her poster! @ee_ecology @fungi_lover @WomenInSoilEco @esa_students @ESAEcology

Hey #ESA2023, if you’re interested in microbes, shrub encroachment, and drylands come check out my poster on Wednesday. I’ll be presenting on the Master’s research that I’ve been doing in @fungi_lover’s lab at NMSU and @TheJornada.

[Emily Embury @ee_ecology]

A beautiful day for fieldwork @TheJornada!

[Audubon Society @audubonsociety]

#DarkSkyWeek kicks off today. Night-migrating birds, like songbirds and shorebirds, can be disoriented by artificial light at night. Turning off or dimming lights can help them complete their migratory journeys safely. Learn how to be #BirdFriendly: https://t.co/XXsz4dUlgD

Happy #fungifriday everyone.🍄😊

[Emily Embury @ee_ecology]

@striiformis Fascinating, thank you! I’ll try to get a better look at the spores!

[Emily Embury @ee_ecology]

Some fungal hyphae for your day! #fungi #hyphae #microscope #mycelium #spores #conidia

[Emily Embury @ee_ecology]

@striiformis I’m still learning about morphological-based identification, so any tips would be great! It came from this grey/black growth.

[Nicole @PensievePensine]

If you’re out there think twice before you take a look underneath, you could get hooked 🍄💚

Super cool #animalbehavior! This great-tailed grackle has learned that it can find a meal of dead bugs in the front grille of the car!

Just a gloriously bright chicken of the woods on a huge log that I spotted from the car 😆

A strong mushroom breaking through the soil. #fungi #desert

Now that I'm out west, I'm dying to know!

Any research/papers on the differences in soil microbial communities in eastern (deciduous) vs. western U.S. (coniferous) forests?

I know lots of folks have data out there. Anyone want to collaborate?
